CLA Show - KRA & Originals
While the CLA Show is a large event, the show this year was augmented by the addition of the KRA displays and other original collections. One hopes that we can see them return in the future. My thanks to the Kentucky Rifle Association for their contributions.

CLA Show Horn Displays
The fantastic horn work, both original and contemporary, caught me by surprise. Just as I had never seen so many fine rifles in one place, I have never seen such an amount of horns under one roof. The photos speak for themselves.

CLA Show Bicentennial Display
My thanks to Jim Chambers for the Bicentennial Exhibit. In this display was rifle number 1 built by John Bivins and rifle number 200 built by Jack Haugh. This project was a fitting part of our country's Bicentennial celebration and I appreciated Jim's effort.

CLA Show - Main Room
To one who had never been to a CLA show, walking into this room was an incredible experience. Never had I seen so many world class rifles and accoutrements in one place.
